This only works, if the driver supports it. To load loader environmental
variables something like TUNABLE_INT("hw.snd.pcmN.buffersize, &...) should
show up in the driver code:
% cd /usr/src/sys/dev/sound/ && cat `ls` | grep TUNABLE_
% cd /usr/src/sys/dev/sound/isa && cat `ls` | grep TUNABLE_
% cd /usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pci && cat `ls` | grep TUNABLE_
% cd /usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pcm && cat `ls` | grep TUNABLE_
TUNABLE_INT("hw.snd.targetirqrate", &chn_targetirqrate);
TUNABLE_INT("hw.snd.verbose", &sndstat_verbose);
TUNABLE_INT_DECL("hw.snd.verbose", 1, sndstat_verbose);
TUNABLE_INT("hw.snd.unit", &snd_unit);
TUNABLE_INT("hw.snd.maxautovchans", &snd_maxautovchans);
% cd /usr/src/sys/dev/sound/usb && cat `ls` | grep TUNABLE_
This means only the tuneables hw.snd.targetirqrate, hw.snd.verbose,
hw.snd.unit and hw.snd.maxautovchans are retrieved from the loader
environment at boot time by the pcm driver. (I took this from the sources of
the RELENG_*5* branch on my system)

AFAIK the define is named DSP_BUFFSIZE (in src/sys/dev/sound/pcm/sound.h.
DSP_BUFFSIZE can be used to define the default buffersize for sound drivers,
but most of the sound drivers use their own defines.
If you want to change the default buffersize for a sound driver you need to
search for a define like xxx_BUFFSIZE, where xxx is the name of the sound
driver (maybe some developers use other naming-conventions).
ie., if you want to change the default buffersize of the ESS driver you need
to change the line "#define ESS_BUFFSIZE (4096)" in
src/sys/dev/sound/isa/ess.c.
If you use the sbc driver, you need to do this changes in sb8.c or sb16.c,
depending on the soundcard you are using. sbc.c is only the code for the
corresponding bridge driver.
However, I'm not a guru, so I can't guess, if a driver works better with any
other buffer size defined, than the original one.
